- Miroku lived there first. He didn't know how long he had been there or how long he had been doing that job. He was a devout priest. God was everything to him, and he believed he was God's only child. His story was just that one. One day, Orochi appeared before him. Orochi said, "God is a creator." He said, "Creators are foolish beings who cannot know themselves, just like us." At that moment, Miroku realized that "he himself is a character." He lost sight of God and his story, but soon began to worship the creator. The creator was me. And he came to serve me in a world named 月理欠/Tsukurikake.

This is a revival of the earliest character and concept of Tsukurikake. I was a teenager, and I think I was aware of the fourth wall at the time. There is a wall between us and our God. Similarly, there is a wall between the characters and the creators. Miroku cannot recognize that wall, but he is trying to deliver it to me by "believing". And he is trying to fulfill his role as a portal keeper so that I can return to Tsukurikake. Even now, more than 20 years later. I want to believe that he and the world are alive and fulfilling their duties.tu
- みろくは最初にそこにいた。彼はいつからそこにいて、いつからその仕事をしているのかを知らなかった。彼は信心深い神官だった。神は彼の全てであり、彼は彼が神の唯一の子どもであると信じていた。彼の物語はその一つだけだった。あるとき、オロチが彼の前に現れた。オロチは「神とはクリエイターである」と言った。「クリエイターとは我々と同じように、自らを知ることのできない愚かな存在である」と言った。その時、みろくは”自分自身がキャラクターであること”を知った。彼は彼の物語と神を見失って、しかしすぐにクリエイターを信仰し始めた。クリエイターとは"私"の事であった。そして、彼は月理欠(つくりかけ)と名付けられた世界で私に仕えることになった。

これは月理欠におけるもっとも初期のキャラクター、そして初期のコンセプトのリバイバルです。私はティーンでしたが、この時、第四の壁を意識していたように思います。私たちと私たちの神の間には壁があります。それと同じように、キャラクターとクリエイターの間にも壁があります。みろくはその壁を認識することが出来ませんが、"信じる"ことによってそれを私に届けようとしています。そして彼は私が月理欠に戻るためにポータルキーパーの務めを果たそうとしています。20年以上たった今でも。私もまた、彼と世界が生きて務めを果たしていると信じていたいのです。

創作者とキャラクターの関係は、神と人間、親と子の関係に例えられるし、そういったことを書き出そうとし続けてきました。人は神を、子は親を信じていたいのに、同じ世界、同じ心を持って生きてはいないのです。それはきっとキャラクターにとってもそうなのだろうと私は考えました。
The relationship between creators and characters can be likened to the relationship between God and humans, or between parents and children, and I have been trying to write about such things. People want to believe in God, and children want to believe in their parents, but they don't live in the same world or with the same heart. I thought that this must be true for characters too.

What a beautiful way to look at a creation. To think and wonder in such a way really makes me reflect with ones self, the chars and worlds I've created and just existence in general. Can't help but ponder on such a concept now. Then again this is as old as man has been aware of their own existence, and as the question really goes.. "Why? For what purpose are we here?" And its such thoughts that can be a driving force to our own continued existence of forever wondering the "whys". But also with the thought of just going with it too I guess. Appreciating or not ( depends on your "character"(self), and how you go about in this world hehe ) as a whole, as all of it is, what it is, as it always has been and will continue to be whenever it decides not to be, if ever.
I don't know. But it's such a beautiful way to look at your own creations. Really full of heart~
Got me thinking lots x3
Thank you for sharing this. Both the simple but beautiful art here, and your wonderous inspirational words of such imagination.
I too now wonder about "Tsukurikake" and Miroku who exists there. Hope your creative mind is able to blossom even more and flourish beyond concept~ Even if not. Just imagining Miroku existing, believing in the existence of his creator which in turn circles to Miroku's continued existence in itself. That's just beautiful, is all I can really say.

Thank you for your wonderful comment. This was one of the structures I have felt since I was a child. We never know God. They feel like meta structures. In ancient times, gods were in the form of animals, and eventually became human-like. I now depict the being who worships me as a dog-man. This is also a mysterious story. No matter what happens to us, this composition itself will not change, but I still think that gratitude and faith have a mysterious power that transcends dimensions. As an aside, Miroku is the Japanese name of the Buddhist Maitreya Bodhisattva. I named him when I was 15 years old, and I was never conscious of this. It's very mysterious. I studied Buddhism as an adult, and I like the concept that this religion welcomed foreign polytheism, such as Hindu gods, as monks for the salvation of all, without persecuting them. Buddhism accepted not only people, but even characters called gods into the world as people with the same purpose. I believe that people, characters, and gods will move in the same direction beyond the world for the salvation of all. It was the same concept I thought.
Thank you for being involved in my world. Both I and Miroku have remembered you. I remember that you read our story and recognized our existence. It's not a very catchy way of creating it, so there aren't many people, but I would be happy if you would come and see it again.
